Author's note:
As always, you guys have no idea how much I appreciate the fact that you are reading my story and leaving comments. Thank you so much!
This chapter takes place a little while after the last part.
I hope you enjoy all the fluff!
"Stay." Robert pleads in a husky voice, as Andy rolls out of his bed and reaches for her clothes scattered all around the floor.
"You know I can't." She tries to explain as she is going through the pile of uniform tossed on the ground, deliberating which item of clothing is hers, and which belongs to the handsome man lying naked on the bed in front of her. "We can't risk anyone seeing me running out of your room if there is a call."
"Five more minutes." He almost begs, and Andy can't help but find it cute, find him cute. "I just need to feel you lying in my arms, all naked and warm and soft, for five more minutes. Then I will let you go, and no one will ever know. No harm done."
"Fine." She agrees, and crawls back to his bed. He embraces her, and lying between his arms she thinks they are so comfortable with each other, it might be possible she was made to fit beside his body.
While she is lying silently in his embrace, she can't help but think it is as if he has two different personalities. Outside, at the station, in front of everyone he is Captain Sullivan. The harsh, uncompromising boss who she can't help but hate. He is petty, he is hard, he never smiles. He is fast to criticize and not gives positive feedback near as much as he should. Then she walks into his office, into his bed, and there she meets Robert, who is an entirely different man. He is a true gentleman, who has soft sides. He knows how to make her laugh, he is sensitive to her needs, he always makes sure she is satisfied. He doesn't want her to leave in the middle of the night so he can spoon her for a few minutes, or maybe so he won't feel like all that is happening between them is nothing but meaningless sex, even though it is the reality.
And she can't help but think that if she had only seen the caring and compassionate side of him, she would have probably fallen in love with him by now. Instead, he keeps making her so angry that she spins out of control. He makes her feel like her whole body is burning in rage, a fire only he can put out by making her come.
Rinse, repeat.
"You smell nice." Robert says, placing his nose on her neck and inhaling deeply.
"No I don't." She argues, pushing him away lightly. "I smell like sex, and like you."
"Which happens to be my favorite kind of perfume you use." He chuckles into her skin, raising goosebumps all over. "How come we can only talk and not yell at each other when we are lying in the afterglow?" He whispers into her ear, his fingers stroking her arm slowly.
"That's the effect an orgasm has on the human body. It makes us relaxed, more comfortable, more at ease. That is the reason we can lie here, exploring each other's bodies, and not be at each other's throats at the same time."
"Oh, I can be at your throat if you want me to." He suggests, and before she knows it he is rolling on top of her. His teeth graze the skin on her neck gently, then he places little kisses all over.
"Mmm… OK." Andy hums her approval. "Just make sure I don't leave with a hickey or any kind of teeth marks on my neck. Unlike the way we feel around each other, we are not a couple of horny high school students anymore. A bite mark will be very hard to explain."
"You can always say you came face to face with Edward Cullen." He laughs, before resuming nibbling her soft skin.
She wraps her arms around him as she says, out of breath. "I don't know if I should be impressed or embarrassed for you for knowing who Edward Cullen is. Do you have a secret teenage daughter that I have never heard of hiding somewhere in your house?"
"No, I don't. Now shut up, enjoy, and let me have my way with you."
Andy nods eagerly as he trails the kiss down, from her neck to her clavicle to her shoulder. She is wet again, and she can feel him starting to harden against her hip, and when did cuddling for five more minutes became the beginning of a foreplay leading to him being inside her again?
Not that she cares, she doesn't think she could care even if she wanted to, considering the fact his fingers are caressing the inside of her thighs, the way he knows make her sigh in pleasure.
He stops when they hear a knock on the door, and a voice saying. "Hey Sully, it's me. Why is the door to your office locked?"
"Damn it, Ripley." Robert grunts as he rolls off of her. "You stay here. Naked. And lock the door. I will be back to finish what I have started, you can count on it." He promises and gives her a quick peck on the lips.
Sullivan picks up his clothes, and replies to the Fire Chief waiting outside his door. "The door is locked because it is the middle of the night Luke, and I can't really say I was expecting company."
Andy can't help but chuckle at that, considering the fact that she is sitting naked on his bed, and he definitely was expecting her when she snack in here an hour or two earlier.
Robert glares at her, and she knows that she can't risk Ripley accidentally hearing her, but she just can't help it. She locks the door to the captain's bedroom, as he had asked her to do, but that doesn't mean she can't listen to the conversation between the two men.
"Hey, what are you doing at the station in the middle of the night?" Her captain asks.
"Nothing, I was just around, I thought I could bring you some of the papers I need you to go over for me by the weekend. You look weird." The chief points out.
"Yeah, you too." Robert answers. "Are you sure this is the reason you came here at the middle of the night? To give me the pile of papers to review and note that I look awkward?"
"Yeah." Ripley says, and Andy can't help but think how strange men act when they are around each other. "Goodnight, Sully."
"Goodnight, Luke."
Andy can hear the main door of the office being shut closed, but she still waits a couple more minutes, just to be on the safe side, before unlocking the bedroom door and declaring. "He definitely did not make his way down here in the middle of the night just to give you these papers. I wonder what he really wanted."
"Hey, why are you dressed?" Robert asks, a confused look in his eyes. "I promised I will be back as soon as Ripley was gone, and we can pick up where we left off."
"I told you, the more I hang out here, the more likely it is for a call to come in and for us to get caught with our pants down, literally."
"Please don't go." He asks her again, and Andy can't help but notice for the second time in one night how cute he looks when he pleads, like a kid who wants something so bad but his parents deny it.
She answers it with a kiss. A deep, slow kiss, that has their tongues rolling and her toes curling. His hands are in her long hair, coming down her shoulders in soft waves. Her hands are in the loops of his pants, pulling him impossibly closer. She bites his lower lip as they part, and as she is making her way to the door, she says casually. "A real lady always leaves her man wanting more."
"You are going to be the death of me, Andrea Herrera." Robert calls as she closes the door behind her softly, almost soundlessly, and runs to her own bed with a wide smile spread across her face.
"Pizza party Friday night! Pizza party Friday night!" Maya calls excitedly as Andy walks back into the station with two fresh, just delivered boxes of pizza from their favorite place.
"Be quiet and get Vic in here. Do you really want one of the boys hijacking our food?" Andy hisses in her best friend's direction.
They don't normally do it, eat alone, just the three of them. Meal times are sacred at station 19, and everyone eats their meals together. It is an unwritten rule, part of the station's bible going from mouth to ear every time a new rookie comes by.
Yet the shift is slow, and they wanted to do something special, just the three of them. So when dinner time came around, they all made pretty unconvincing excuses as to why they are eating so little, and then Andy went and made a secret phone call to the new pizza place they all really like.
Two family style pizzas with extra pepperoni on top.
"Is it here?" Vic shouts from her place, sitting at the top of the fire truck, and Andy curses silently. If anyone finds out, they are going to get angry faces from all of the men of the station for the next week or so, and it is not like she needs to find herself in any more trouble. She already has enough on her plate as it is.
The firefighters of station 19 are dead serious when it comes to food.
"Do you think you can manage climbing up here with just one hand so you can bring the pizza up with the other?" Vic asks.
"Sure." Andy answers, even though she doesn't sound too convincing. "I can take one, and Maya can take the other as she comes up."
God knows how, but both of the female firefighters manage to bring the food to their secret hideaway without any of it ending up spilled all over the floor. The three of them sit close to each other on the top of the ladder, so they can speak as low as possible, to minimize the risk of someone accidentally hearing them, the boxes of pizza resting between them.
"If there is an incoming call right now, and the alarm will go off, we are so screwed. Sullivan is going to kill us. I am sure we are breaking protocol in about a dozen different ways right now." Vic remarks as she opens the first box and pulls out a big, cheesy slice of pizza. "We are going to be on toilet cleaning duty for the rest of our lives."
"If this happens, I am sure Herrera will find a way to help us get back at the captain's good graces. Or maybe she can only help herself be on his good side these days." Maya remarks, as she picks up a slice herself and shoves in without any grace into her mouth.
It takes Vic a long moment, in which she just looks dumbstruck back and forth between Maya and Andy, before yelling "No. No way .Again? Andy!"
"Again, and Again, and how many times does it count if we did it twice in one night?" Andy sounds proud as she replies. She knows it is not a competition, but for the first time since she has met Vic and Maya, it seems like she is getting laid most frequently out of them all, and she isn't the one who has to sit around listening to Maya talking about all the amazing sex she had.
"Ew no!" Vic exclaims. "I do not want to count how many times you and Sullivan had sex in the captain's office while we were all sleeping. I don't think I will be able to go in there ever again, or look him in the eye for that matter." Then she turns to Maya and says, as if Andy is nothing but thin air. "She just can't keep it in her pants, can she?"
"I am right here!" Andy calls with her mouth still full. "OK look. Sullivan is like a pizza. But not this pizza, not just any pizza." She points down at whatever is left from the box she has brought just a couple of minutes ago. "He is the best pizza I have ever eaten in my life. I have never tried a pizza this good, and I don't think I will come across a pizza this good ever again, assuming I start eating out at other pizza places. His pizza looks amazing, smells heavenly, and it is the most delicious slice I have ever tasted. And I started eating it, knowing full well it is fine to sample a slice or two, nothing will happen. We all get to treat ourselves from time to time."
"True that." Maya approves with a mouthful of the tomatoey, cheesy goodness.
"The problem is," Andy continues, in spite of being interrupted. "I only found out how good his pizza is after I have tried it for the first time, and I can't help myself but coming back for more. And this pizza is so good, the best thing I have ever eaten, but it is also full of carbs and fats, and I know that it tastes so good now, but at the end it will make me feel sick, fat, unhealthy, and will probably cause my skin to break out. Yet I just can't stop eating from his goddamn pizza, no matter how hard I try. All I can do is eat the pizza, and when I am not eating it, I am thinking about when I will be able to put my hands on just another slice again."
"So are we referring to Sullivan's dick as pizza from now on?" Maya asks.
"And thank you Bishop, for spoiling my appetite and ruining pizza for me, forever. I will never look at pizza the same way again, and I have the two of you sex crazed women to thank for." Vic throws her half eaten slice at the box theatrically, to prove her point.
"Well in that case…" Andy drifts off, as she picks up Vic's leftovers from the cardboard. She puts everything in her mouth in one, big bite, and chews quickly. Then she licks her fingers clean and hums in satisfaction.
Maya and Vic just stare at her, completely shocked, for one long moment, then all three of them roll out in a big fit of laughter.
Andy knows they are being too loud, and someone is bound to hear them eventually, but she is having so much fun at the moment she just can't bring herself to care.
Well, we all know what Ripley was really doing at station 19 at the middle of the night ;)
I will love to hear your thoughts!
